Great video! Thank you. It almost felt like i was there. I'm 76 and handicapped now, so I can't get out there much, but this refreshed some old memories. I love bird hunting!
@@kentskoien7583 Thanks for the kind words, you will always have your memories of being out there and I am sure you have had some amazing times out in the woods. Fall time when the leaves change colour is our favorite time of year but even in the snow we both try and get joy everything we see around us. Take care and have a great weekend ( football season begins 😊)
I Always take my 30-06 , 200 grain bullets for Grouse . Then back up I carry my A-R 15, a bunch of tea, bannock, my .22 long rifle, my Snowshoes when snow is So So deep like this, a phone, and a tent .
I spent 3 hours today walking around and inside bush that was mostly spruce, lodgepole pine and some poplar/aspen in western Alberta (Rocky Mountain house area) looking for grouse and didn’t see anything 😭
The mystery wire is IP wire (Induced Polarization) is a geophysical method of measuring the resistance of geologic formations underground. The operator clips into the wire along the trail and connects it to a steel stake driven into the ground to charge the earth. A receiver unit measures the falloff of the current over time.
Awesome Dave, thank you for the explanation, sure had us scratching our head seeing in was 20 km's long maybe more in the middle of nowhere much appreciated
@@HKsOutdoorAdventures you carry reels of it on your back. A good operator can do about 8-10 km a day on cut lines. Loved your vid. Grouse are my favourite hunt...
Hi Folks ! From a quick search of that company (Abitibi Geophysics) I found that they provide survey methods for mining exploration. One of their methods is to utilize electromagnetic cables and devices to search for mineral deposits such as gold, copper and zinc. Not sure of their exact use of that black cable but I'd guess that its a form of antenna that detects magnetic variations and other mineral deposits through the use of an instrument that the cables connect to. I grew up in Northern MN on the Iron Range mining area. Also hunted Ruffed Grouse as a kid with my dad and still take trips back there to hunt annually now at 64 years of age.
Well that sounds like what it probably is and funny you mention the Iron Range, been to Duluth once a month for 30 plus years probably more lol been to Virginia, Biwabic, Hibbing (which I found amazing ) so we are both familiar with the area. From 1 young buck to another (I’m 63) thanks for watching mate
We dont shoot spruce grouse way too dumb for us, this video will show why lol not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier lol ua-cam.com/video/4bi3G5bqPoU/v-deo.html
very nice video,ooks like great hunting up there, you make grouse hunting look easy, what size shot do you use up there for grouse, it should be plenty snow shoe hare in those parts too.cheers.
We have the most luck early morning or late evening when the birds eat and get gravel for their crop to help digestion. The worst for us it seems are windy days tough bird hunting when it is windy

Nice time with family. Pick up your hulls, though, please.

I always look forward to your videos, very enjoyable. Happy Holidays!
Thanks for the kind words Happy Holidays

Sorry for your loss
Starting a day of hunting with some Tim horton's coffee is the way to go
Can't function without it, but my doctor says limit it to 1 cup per day lol He thinks he knows everything about the human body ;) lol
Nowadays instant coffees give me heart attack.

Went hunting for rabbit a few days ago for the first time honestly a lot of fun!!
I want to try and brine a rabbit then smoke it on the charcoal grill using indirect heat, now I want to get a few rabbits Thanks for watching
From Capreol great video
great job
I found a similar cable in the Ministic Lake area west of Windy Lake turnoff on 144
Sure makes you scratch your head when you don’t know what it is and you are in the middle of nowhere, luckily some viewers knew what it was
In case they get lost they can find there way out
From sudbury love your videos

30-06 for grouse...?? WTH

U guys sure do shoot lots of birds😊 what is ur favorite recipe?
My son has a lot of kids they get eaten up faster than we could get ‘em favorite recipie ? I like Kathy’s ua-cam.com/video/MKywg0UChFc/v-deo.html
My so. Has a lot of kids they eat them up faster than we can shoot ‘em ua-cam.com/video/MKywg0UChFc/v-deo.html
I gotta ask why not use a nice semi 22 if your shooting them on ground it's cheaper and their heads pop right off
I prefer a 12 iron and their heads pop off
I'm 5
What time is best to go get some birds?
We have the most luck early morning or late evening when the birds eat and get gravel for their crop to help digestion. The worst for us it seems are windy days tough bird hunting when it is windy
Fish in a barrel...big whoop..!! 👎
